GitHub Says ‘No Thanks’ to Bots — Even if They’re Nice

I'd like to optimise my images. (The images on my website.) I looked at https://github.com/imageoptimiser but didn't see which tool would do that, or any way to contact the author. Is there an image optimisation tool in there somewhere?

If you're on a Mac, ImageOptim is the perfect tool that combines a bunch of open projects to crush down images. I use it daily, it's an incredible (free) tool.

If you're not on a Mac, the individual tools are still quite usable. Here's some of them.

Wouldn't that project also benefit from jpegtran?

ImageOptim includes it, I just couldn't remember the full name at the time.

I'm the guy who made the bot. I'm looking at relaunching this in a way that GitHub are happy with so that you can at least request an optimisation on your repos. In the meantime, check out http://imageoptim.com/
